Crytek CEO and key Far Cry person Cevat Yerili showed us a very interesting presentation and talked about the firm's future plans and the current Shader situation. It presented a new demo that it's delivered to ATI. It's based on the Far Cry 1.3 engine and I have to admit it looked very impressive and puts the Ruby demo to shame. I guess that ATI will use this demo to highlight the potential of new X850 cards that are scheduled for launch on the first day of December.

saw the demo, looks very nice. only think i didn't like was the jetski moving in the water. more screens.

 

[ArcadeStickMonk]

sorry ATI, I already jumped ship.

 

[Mrbob]

Haha.

Speaking of videocards, I can't believe the X800PRO and 6800GT are still hovering around 380 bucks!

Last I heard the X800 PRO can be found for 330-350 now.

I forgot where they had the 329.99 one. No wait, that was a special Gateway deal for the people they screwed over...

PRETTY DAMN NICE

 

[Zaptruder]

Looks good. Only average art tho.

 

[Mashing]

Damn, is there any doubt that "bloom lighting" is the new lens flare... everything and it's mother has it now.

 

[sprsk]

and people were whining about the polar express being creepy and soulless

Technically this is very impressive, especially when you consider that it's coming from a game engine, and not a piece of software that only has to consider rendering (i.e. a tech demo). Can you imagine what this kind of engine + the art prowess of, say, a Capcom, might produce?

edit: This seems reminiscint of early Tekken FMV for me, for some reason:

[FriScho]

I HATE PLASTIC GUTS/SKIN!

=

But I will buy the X850... I have Radeon 9800Pro now and I need to upgrade....

 

[dark10x]

The art still sucks, but I think this proves what I was saying before...

CryTek >>>>> Source

This engine could easily handle Half-Life 2 and could probably do so with fewer loading breaks...

 

[gofreak]

CryTek >>>>> Source

I can't say for sure since I don't know the ins and the outs of both engines, but this isn't necessarily true. If you're saying that because of these shots, realise that they are making use of more complicated shaders made available by ATi's new hardware, and Source could easily accomodate such shaders also.
